Not to take the fun out of the game, but there is a tab on eliteprospects by which you can search NHL experience on each roster, season by season, if you're so inclined... www.eliteprospects.com/team/209/nottingham-panthers/experience/2003-2004/all?league=nhlMissing Panthers from the original list from the EIHL era. Netminder Tom Askey, seven games with Anaheim in 97-98, Panthers in 07-08. As mentioned earlier, Jeff Heerema, 32 games in total with St Louis and Carolina, Panthers in 10-12. Lynn Loyns 34 games in total with San Jose and Calgary, Panthers in 13-14. Matt Ryan, 12 games as an LA King, Panthers in 13-14. Petr Kalus, 11 games in total with Boston and Minnesota and an impressive four goals! Also two spells with Panthers. Joe Jensen, 6 games with Carolina and another 13-14 Panthers player. We had seven players with NHL experience over the course of that season. Colby Cohen, 3 games with Colorado and 14-15 with the Panthers. Juraj Kolink, 250 games in the show, 36 with the New York Islanders and 214 with Florida, he spent with 15-16 season with the Panthers. Kevin Quick, 6 games with Tampa Bay, also played the back end of the 15-16 season in Nottingham. Kristian Kudroc, 26 games with Tampa Bay and Florida, 16-17 at the fabulous NIC. Alexandre Bolduc, 65 games split between the Canucks and Coyotes, one season in Nottingham in 17-18. Jon Rheault played five games with Florida in 12-13, Panthers 17-19. Standouts were Kolnic , Kevin Quick and Kalus.. Askey , loyns and Cohen were huge disappointments for me

Me too, I've trawled YouTube many a time trying to find it again but alas, no luck. Unfortunately mate back in those days video coverage was very graney if it is found at all..before the age of the smartphone 🤣 Sky used to do a weekly highlights show, there are a few episodes uploaded but sadly not that one. We’d beaten Steelers 8-2 the night before, one of my favourite nights at the NIC.

Askey , loyns and Cohen were huge disappointments for me My only memory of Askey was him having a blinder in the Challenge Cup final in Sheffield, he made something like 22 saves in the first period, we barely got out of our zone and then went up the other end and McAslan scored a speculative wrister past Davey Lawrence and we went on to win 6-3.

Roman Tvrdon played 9 games for Washington Capitals in 2003/04 before playing for Panthers at the start of the 2004/05 season. Unsure if he was the last one to do so though. Mel Anglestad did the same, a couple for the Caps in 03/04 (fun fact, he was the first player in NHL history to wear jersey #69) then joined Giants in 04/05. Kevin Westgarth? Signed for Belfast in 14/15 having iced with Carolina and Calgary in 13/14.

After Fred Perlini, I think the second player to play for the Panthers having played in the NHL was Yves Beaudoin who played 11 games over three seasons for Washington before playing a season for us in 1989-90. The third I think was Dan Dorian who played four games for New Jersey before coming over here in 1991-92.

Well, thank you everyone for the input and bringing to mind 'other' players from the past who had played both NHL and here. Appreciated. Keep it up.

John Purves, Panthers skipper 02/03, seven games with the Washington Capitals in the 90/91 season. Great player.. I was at London when he scored one of the best shorties I've ever seen! I have his stick in my study!

Todd Bidner needs Nottingham adding to his UK teams list. It's there but looking like its on the player above. Plumb.

One or two non-lockout players have gone NHL, UK, then back to the NHL Travis Brigley Chris Stewart Question I'm not sure I know the answer to... Who was the last player to play at least 1 game in the NHL the season before coming to the UK? Nick Boynton Boynton is surely the only player to have also played in the NHL All-star game the preceding season before coming to the EIHL. And can't be many to subsequently win the Stanley Cup after leaving the EIHL? Guess that makes him a bit of a unicorn amongst unicorns in NHL in the UK respects surely?

Todd Bidner was briefly inbetween Beaudoin and Dorion ( middle name Norman, fact fans (according to Wikipedia anyway). Bidner featured for Panthers in the first game I ever went to.

Great player,still remember that PO final goal. He gave me one of his Bruins shirts,he was a mate of Curtis Cruickshank who was responsible for getting both Boynton and Ian Moran to Nottingham. Something else Cruicker never got credit for before being stabbed by GM.

Best thing to happen was the lock out

Best thing to happen was the lock out I still remember an opposition player trying to throw a "welcome to the league" check on McKenna at a home game and bouncing off him 😂 Was close enough to hear Steve McKenna turn around and say "looked like that hurt" 🤭

I remember a game in the air raid shelter in London, Panthers a couple of goals down with about 30 secs to go and London firing the puck towards an empty net. Boynton skated hard and dived full length and slid with his stick on the ice to stop the puck. Showed me that the NHLers that year actually cared while they were here.

Here's a definitive list of Panthers who have played in the EIHL and the NHL.

And it's done! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ER2QW5ym8yrAn4qYS-jblHJyFiXCOOmSIPGlBmdwkpE/edit?usp=sharingSome headline stats for you all. Five players who have played in the EIHL have their name engraved on Lord Stanley's Cup, Theo Fleury, Kevin Westgarth, Nick Boynton, Jason Williams and Ric Jackman. Panthers have had the most ex-NHLers represent them, 42 in total. Guildford are the only team who have yet to have any. Unsurprisingly Theo Fleury has the most NHL appearances, 13 players have played in the EIHL after making a solitary NHL appearance. In total 167 players have played in both the NHL and EIHL, of which 13 came due to the NHL lockouts in 2004/05 and 2012/13. Aside from the 13 lockout players, two players have played in the NHL after playing in the EIHL. Chris Stewart played before and after his spell in Nottingham in the 2018/19 season. As highlighted earlier in the thread, Bobby Robins is the only player to play in the NHL after leaving the EIHL having never played in the show before his spell in the Elite League.

Worked my way back through the good old days of the BISL. Here are the 22 who played in Nottingham in the Superleague era, obviously there is a slight cross-over with the EIHL, with David Struch and PC Drouin also representing us during the EIHL era. Attachments:
